re: la petite mort
I must not deer.
deer is the mind-killer.
deer is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my deer.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the deer has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
